European groove metal outfit Noumenia have released a music video for their new single, Shards, out now on digital platforms via Eclipse Records.

Directed by Steve Saints, the video was filmed inside White Studios in Milan, Italy. The clip uses minimal digital effects and claustrophobic framing to mirror the psychological themes of depression explored in the lyrics.

The track follows the band’s 2025 debut full-length, Echoes, also issued via Eclipse Records. Musically, Shards pairs buzzsaw guitar work and heavy rhythm sections with vocal passages that alternate between harsh delivery and melodic lines.

Vocalist Vivian Black shared the intent behind the track’s subject matter:

“These are sensitive but important topics, especially when you’re living with these feelings. I wanted to tap into a more introspective part of myself. We don’t want to destroy the hope of getting better, it’s actually quite the opposite. I believe it’s good to talk about the dark moments in our lives, especially when that hope seems to be missing.”
